Arts Council awards funds to provincial arts organizations

The Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council announced the 18 organizations funded under the Sustaining Program for Professional Arts Organizations.
Following Tuesday's announcement of the latest recipients of funding under the Professional Festivals Program (totaling just under $90,000), the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council today released information on the distribution of $500,000 under their program for arts organizations.
"We are pleased to be able to support all of the organizations funded through the Sustaining Program for Professional Arts Organizations," said arts council executive director Reg Winsor.
The program runs on a three-year cycle, wherein new applicants enter the program in the first year. Maintaining the same level of activity, with funding available, organizations receive at least 75 per cent of their grant for the next two years.
The application deadline for entry into the next three-year run is February 15, 2011.
